ABSTRACT:
A droplet ejecting device comprises a piezoelectric transducer consisting of first and second piezoelectric transducers polarized in the directions opposite to each other, the first and second piezoelectric transducers bonded to each other and having electrodes disposed at the inner and outer surfaces thereof. A member is fitted to the piezoelectric transducer to define ink chambers, the member having an orifice associated with each ink chamber. An injection controller applies an electric field to the electrode(s) associated with the predetermined ink chamber(s) so as to eject an ink droplet(s) from the ink chamber(s) through the orifice(s) in a given position. As a result, the invention provides a droplet ejecting device where an ink ejecting cycle of the array as a whole is short, the print speed is high, and electrodes can be easily manufactured.
